The business was founded last year by Nick Tulloch, former chief executive of Zoetic International, the first CBD company listed on the London Stock Exchange.

He said: “We have ambitious plans for 2021 and beyond. The market for CBD products is growing rapidly in the UK and worldwide and, as the industry becomes subject to greater regulation, Voyager aims to become the trusted brand in this increasingly popular health and wellness market.

“Our crowdfunding campaign gives investors the opportunity to be part of our journey and participate in this very exciting industry.”

Tulloch is joined at Voyager by two other former senior members of the Zoetic team – Paul Mendell, previously chairman of Zoetic, and Eric Boyle, originally a founder of that business and who is now chairman of the Perth firm.

According to the Association for the Cannabinoid Industry, the CBD market in the UK is already bigger than the Vitamin C and D markets combined. By 2025 it is expected to be worth £1 billion.
